There is a 3 minute video on utube by a 4x4 traversing the track. I see the
video was in 2010 so image it sure wont look like this anymore after our rain
in January

Subject: Birding Lamington N.P.
Hi John,
ave tried to reply to this but was at work and then saw Nick's reply. I
aven't travelled down Duck Creek road for several years so I would advise
aying more attention to his tips rather than mine.
certainly wouldn't relish driving down Duck Creek road at the moment
Currently it is incredibly wet in SE Qld.) however it might well be much
rier in October and if so possible to take a 2WD down there (I have done
o on numerous occasions, though I'm not sure how you would go with
ental-car restrictions.....probably best to avoid[?])
Birdwise, there are a few 'specialities', in the first stretch of
ainforest I have seen Paradise Riflebird, Crested Shrike-tit, Albert's
yrebird but these can also be seen in other areas of Lamington NP. Where
he vegetation changes to eucalyptus woodland you have a good chance of
etting Spotted Quail-thrush, Red-browed Treecreeper, Glossy
lack-Cockatoo, Buff-rumped Thornbill (and twenty years ago I saw Eastern
ristlebird fairly close to this road, but seems little hope now though)
If you let me know your 'hit-list' for SE Qld (offlist) I will try and help
ou out with other sites.

a 4wd is advisable for Duck Creek Road. The people at O'Reilly's however ,
have said that the road is in very poor condition and may not even be
passable at all during October. I see no point in going to the additional
(
and substantial) extra expense of a 4wd if I can't access the road at all.
Does anyone know if the species particularly found there are accessible
elsewhere around the lodge and , if so, can they be accessed by a 2wd
vehicle?

Many thanks.
